Louise’s new coat

I just discovered that sewing patterns for My Friend Mandy‘s outfits fit Louise! Well, at least the coat does. The hat is a little tight, might make her a more Louise-shaped one. I think Mandy and Jenny will need winter coats as well.

Oh! The tiny boots. I died a little inside. Why is it I don’t like the real ones but the doll sized ones are incredible?
I discovered this blog two days ago and disappointingly have blown through all the archives since. Shoulda saved ’em up 🙁

That is funny, I totally still have my Mandy and Jenny dolls plus the clothing. We just got them out for my daughter to play with and I was looking at all the clothes my mom made for them. I will have to call her and see if she still has any patterns.
